VBET leak: ownership structure and ties in Ukraine

In the case of VBET, the CasinoSecrets leak turned out not to be very generous. Sometimes the documents confirm exactly what was already known, and that is a result too.

The international VBET is managed by Radon B.V., registered in Curaçao and existing since 2012. Its owner is listed as Armenian citizen Rudolf Pogosyan. He is also named as the beneficiary of the Ukrainian “VBET UKRAINE.”

The numbers are a bit more complicated. In 2022 the turnover of Radon was €350,8 million. In 2023 it was €11,8 million, and in 2024 it was €19,5 million. The CasinoSecrets documents do not allow for a definitive explanation of such a change. Therefore the difference of €339 million between two adjacent years will have to remain unexplained for now.

The Ukrainian VBET is owned by Cyprus-based UCR Holding Ltd. Its beneficiary is also listed as Pogosyan. Thus, the official structure is fairly consistent: Pogosyan owns the international operator and is listed as the ultimate owner of the Ukrainian business.

Some complication starts with the fact that Svetlana Loboda’s common-law husband, Artur Grants, is attributed with the actual ownership of the Ukrainian VBET casino. He denies this, claiming he only helped launch the company in Ukraine. These statements are quite compatible: helping someone start a business does not necessarily mean owning that business.

The first director of the Ukrainian VBET was Georgy Givishvili. He was then replaced by Oleksandr Blokhin. Before VBET, both ran LLC “UYAVI!” — the publisher of Forbes Ukraine, which is owned by Grants.

That, too, does not prove anything by itself. People sometimes change jobs, and two people can sequentially move from one company of an owner to another company that the owner, according to him, does not own.

In the CasinoSecrets documents, Grants’s name does not appear among the owners or managers of Radon B.V. Therefore the leak does not confirm the version that he owns the international VBET.

It only leaves the previous picture: on paper VBET belongs to Pogosyan, Grants helped launch his Ukrainian business, and two people from Grants’s company took turns managing that business.

That does not make Grants the owner of VBET. Nor does it make him a complete outsider.

Слив VBET: структура собственности и связи в Украине

В случае с VBET утечка CasinoSecrets оказалась не слишком щедрой. Иногда документы подтверждают именно то, что было известно раньше, и это тоже считается результатом.

Международным VBET управляет зарегистрированная на Кюрасао Radon B.V., существующая с 2012 года. Ее владельцем указан гражданин Армении Рудольф Погосян. Он же значится бенефициаром украинской «ВБЕТ УКРАЇНА».

С цифрами несколько сложнее. В 2022 году оборот Radon составлял €350,8 млн. В 2023-м — €11,8 млн, в 2024-м — €19,5 млн. Документы CasinoSecrets не позволяют однозначно объяснить такое изменение. Поэтому разницу в €339 млн между двумя соседними годами придется пока оставить без объяснения.

Украинский VBET принадлежит кипрской UCR Holding Ltd. Ее бенефициаром также указан Погосян. Таким образом, официальная конструкция довольно последовательна: Погосян владеет международным оператором и указан конечным владельцем украинского бизнеса.

Некоторая сложность начинается с того, что гражданскому мужу Светланы Лободы Артуру Гранцу приписывают фактическое владение украинским казино VBET. Сам он это отрицает, утверждая, что всего лишь помогал запускать компанию в Украине. Это вполне совместимые утверждения: помогать человеку открыть бизнес еще не означает владеть этим бизнесом.

Первым директором украинского VBET стал Георгий Гивишвили. Затем его сменил Александр Блохин. До VBET оба руководили ООО «УЯВИ!» — издателем Forbes Ukraine, принадлежащим Гранцу.

Это также само по себе ничего не доказывает. Люди иногда меняют работу, а два человека вполне могут последовательно перейти из одной компании одного владельца в другую компанию, к которой этот владелец, по его словам, отношения собственника не имеет.

В документах CasinoSecrets имя Гранца среди владельцев или руководителей Radon B.V. не появляется. Поэтому утечка не подтверждает версию о его владении международным VBET.

Она лишь оставляет прежнюю картину: по документам VBET принадлежит Погосяну, Гранц помогал запускать его украинский бизнес, а руководить этим бизнесом по очереди пришли два человека из компании Гранца.

Собственником VBET это Гранца не делает. Совсем посторонним человеком — тоже.

The Croatian court has authorized the extradition to Germany of Ukrainian Vladimir Zhuravlev, suspected of the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines. Zhuravlev was detained in Croatia, where he had traveled to consult on a film with Sean Penn about the Nord Stream sabotage. Another suspect in the case, Sergey Kuznetsov, was detained in Italy in August 2025 — he decided to go there after it became known that Germany was conducting a major investigation into the Nord Stream sabotage and was seekin...

In July, former senior SBU Economic Security Bureau official Vitaliy Gagach gave a candid interview to the French outlet ASMFC about how the Ukrainian gambling market is arranged. His statements have today been confirmed by a trove of internal documents from Curaçao-licensed casinos that hackers released to the public. It’s not surprising that Gagach’s interview has now been removed. Numerous reposts are disappearing too — someone is spending tens of thousands of dollars to scrub all traces. But...

Citycode N.V. — the Curaçaon company we were looking for in connection with the Ukrainian BETON — is missing from the CasinoSecrets leak. So the question about the anomalous growth in revenue of the Ukrainian operator BETON — LLC “Sitikod” — remains unanswered for now. In 2023 the company earned only 408 thousand UAH in revenue, in 2024 — 128 thousand UAH, in 2025 — already 2,19 billion UAH, and in just the first half of 2026 — another 3,72 billion UAH. In an interview with the Monegasque public...

The Ukrainian tax authority has finally found a shadow sector of the economy that it can handle. Instead of unpaid taxes in gambling, the Monaco Battalion's VAT schemes, and the shadow circulation of alcohol and cigarettes — they can finally focus on what really matters: OnlyFans models. At the same time this will provide work for the courts: there are already more than 530 cases in the registry for unpaid taxes on OnlyFans income. State priorities have finally been set correctly. If this contin...

FAVBET leak: Matyukha is no longer the main owner A leak of FAVBET documents reports an interesting fact: Andriy Matyukha has not owned the international FAVBET for almost five years. This differs somewhat from the usual perception of the owner of FAVBET, including Matyukha’s own portrayal of himself, who repeatedly called himself the main owner. Until December 2021, Matyukha owned Favorit United, registered in Curaçao, which operates the international favbet.com. He then transferred all shares...
